In the face of a busy, busy schedule, his enjoyment of classical music and his problem-solving skills just shine through. He has brought energy and a can-do attitude to the table. We couldn’t ask for more."

"I am a partner in a small general litigation law firm, and we handle a variety of cases, including personal injury matters. In the past few years, whenever we encountered a case that required a more experienced attorney or more litigation resources, or that involved significant medical issues, we referred our clients to Slack Davis Sanger. Their firm has treated our referrals with outstanding professionalism, quality service, and prompt attention. Based on our experience and trust in Slack Davis Sanger, we look forward to a continued relationship for years to come."

"A disaster affecting the lives of many families led to our relationship with the Slack Davis Sanger team. While we never could be compensated fully for our loss, the team at Slack Davis Sanger removed much of the burden associated with dealing with the courts and corporate attorneys, allowing us to devote more of our attention to dealing with the very real burden of personal loss associated with losing loved ones to tragedy. They actively listened to what was important to us and crafted a legal strategy designed to meet our goals."

CLIENT

"I know I speak for my whole family in expressing appreciation for the genuine care and support provided by Slack Davis Sanger during the lengthy process of working through our legal system. They provided frequent personal contact, without prompting, and someone was always available to answer any question or just listen to our comments and concerns. I feel that we were always treated with respect — individually and as a family."

Larry McLerran

Client

"It was obvious to me, very early in the process, that my family was in need of an advocate that could match the legal resources of the airline involved. Through the recommendation of a family attorney in Austin, I was most fortunate to contact Mike Slack with Slack Davis Sanger LLP. I had not been on the phone with Mike for more than 10 minutes when I knew that this was the man and legal team that would represent my family."

Victor McLerran

Client

"It has been my great pleasure to work on many cases with Mike Slack and Mike Davis over the years — and to refer clients to them whose cases I couldn’t handle for one reason or another. In my book, they are the best of the best our profession has to offer. Not only do they work hard and employ their abundant skills on every case, however complex, but they also care deeply about their clients, and it shows. They don’t teach that in law school. I would, with total confidence, recommend these outstanding lawyers to anyone in need of help in even the toughest of legal battles."

Tommy Jacks

Attorney

"I found the Slack Davis Sanger legal team very professional and competent. The attorneys and staff took the time to make me feel comfortable with all the proceedings. I would highly recommend the Slack Davis Sanger team and would not hesitate to use them again."

Carol B.

Peter B.

Client

"After an exhaustive search from Texas to California for a medical malpractice attorney with expertise in the complicated field of malpractice, I found an outstanding attorney, Michael Guajardo. Mike was the utmost of professional in assessing and explaining the complexity of injury related settlements and the impact they have on the individual and their family. At the same time, he was compassionate and sensitive to the emotional impact it had on both me and my family as we went through the process. He was diligent and thorough in identifying facts, witnesses, expert witness, and gathering information needed in order to fully present my case. His entire manner throughout my case was thoughtful, meticulous, caring and understanding of my ongoing medical issues. Going through a medical malpractice lawsuit is daunting and Mike helped me walk through every step with a professional attitude that assured me I had the best legal advice working in my favor."

They knew the aviation industry and left no stone unturned. Their courtroom strategy and manners are equaled by no other. Thanks for your compassion and helping us through this time."

Kathy Hagerman

Client

"When we got into this I had no idea what to expect. You have all been honest and supportive through this whole process. This whole time I have felt like someone was on our side. That is not something we get very often. I can only hope that if someday you need something from me...I can deliver like you all have for us. If you ever need a reference, no one could explain it like me. We love the fact that your team is still fighting the good fight. I hope you nail those bastards until they have no choice but to fix the problem and make sure it never happens again."

Kathleen C.

Client

"I first met Mike Slack when I mediated a case involving a plane crash in which Mike represented the plaintiff. I was very impressed with his knowledge, preparation, and approach.

Mike Guajardo’s expert knowledge and proficiency resulted in an exceptional settlement of my cases. I highly recommend him as a superior Dallas personal injury attorney."

KRETA L.

CLIENT

"I would like to commend Slack Davis Sanger for their willingness to contribute to the local educational community. In an era when state- and federally allocated funds are scarce, schools are forced to look to public–private partnerships to fund educational initiatives. The partners at Slack Davis Sanger were not only willing to listen to our proposal in a climate in which responses are few, they ultimately provided us with resources. We appreciate the educational opportunities, facilitated through partial funding of technological upgrades at our campus, that Slack Davis Sanger has provided."

Kara Thompson

James Bowie High School PTSA President

"Slack Davis Sanger came highly recommended to me by a colleague. From my first meeting with Mike Davis, I knew my sisters and I had made the right choice. Emotionally, dealing with the situation was difficult for us. Slack Davis Sanger managed all of the details and people day-to-day, involving us only when necessary. This law firm delivered — and more."

Kyle Smith

Client

"Our family wasn’t very experienced with legal matters, and so we had many questions and concerns. Mike Guajardo was friendly and informative, and he made sure we understood everything with clear, straightforward language. It was obvious that he and his team really cared about us, and that his intelligence, experience and energy were completely dedicated to serving our needs. We truly respect this good man."

CHARLES R. DUNNING, JR.

After being in a serious car accident and fracturing my spine, I was overwhelmed by the number of calls I received from different insurance companies and the various medical bills that kept coming in the mail. Mike Slack walked me through the entire process and made it seem easy. He and his team were always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial, and kept my best interests at heart. They made sure the case was closed in a timely manner and that I received the best settlement possible, which gave me peace of mind to focus on my recovery."

SUSAN P. DALLAS, TX

CLIENT

"After a lengthy stay in medical facilities and medical trauma, approaching a medical negligence claim or lawsuit was a daunting task for me. I was aware of Ms. Sweeney's reputation as a very highly regarded medical negligence lawyer and inquired whether she would be willing to take on my case. I knew it was a hard one since I had a complicated medical situation. My experience was excellent. Ms. Sweeney and her staff were totally professional and I cannot think of one time that I did not hear back from them the same day if I wrote or called, always with explanations for any questions I had.   I was kept fully updated on the status of my case. I felt so comfortable with Ms. Sweeney and her paralegals which made the pursuit of the claim so much easier and more relaxing for me.  It was clear that my best interests were foremost and that Ms. Sweeney had an excellent grasp of the medical facts of my case. I highly recommend the firm and in particular, Paula Sweeney."
